18x10 fronts and 18x12 rear! Mind you, these things don't come 5x114.3 you'd have to have them redrilled. So wide, but for these wheels, so worth it.



Look at the fitment on a Camaro!

What are they? And redrilling wheels is never a great option. Quality hub adapters before redrilling IMHO.

Shelby series 1 oem wheels +20 offset i believe. correction, +47 front offset, rear is +28. they fit on a 350z i know that much. pretty sure they're forged.

i think at 18x12 on a z32, adapters aren't really an option lol.

[BigTDogg (MA)]

If they fit on a 350Z for bolt pattern, they will fit on a Z32 for bolt pattern. Both are 5x114.3mm, or 5x4.5

That rear view looks sick! Although with a little less poke on my Z and it'd be the perfect look

18x12 +28 wouldn't clear inner suspension components. I would hit a half inch before you were attached to the hub actually. I had to notch mine and i have 18x11.5 +22 which is a half inch shallower in back spacing.

[Stero87]

Phideaux: What does it mean to "notch"? Whatever it is, in order to not have to do it, would you suggest a rear wheel set up of 18x11 +22?

[TTkickedin]

ok, well a spacer in this case would work. would probably have to flare the fenders quite a bit though.

Stero, i believe youd have to go higher on the offset.

I would say if you don't want to mess so much with the fenders, Get something like 18x10.5 or under, and offset around the 20's, with a set up like this, you would just have to roll fenders and some camber.. or you can always pull the fenders for less camber.

[Phideaux]

Notching the suspension means i have to take a grinder and cut a quarter inch out so my wheels wouldn't hit. It really all depends on how much work you're willing to do to your fenders and how much camber you're willing to run. With my set up i have rolled and pulled fenders, plus cutting and pounding on the rear bumper tap, and i run around 4 or 5 degrees of Camber. If you're looking to run less camber you're going to have to run a less wide wheel. an 11 +22 would get rid of the inner suspension problems but you're still looking at quite a lot of fender work and camber.

Hello everyone on here, first time member here, and looking to do a wheel upgrade sometime soon. I have read this forum page and think I have come to a conclusion that I want 18x9.5 +35 all corners, but want a bigger tire in rear. would a 245/40 in fronts and 295/40 work in rear, without modification other than a roll? I am absolutely horrible with this especially since I have my car in the states while im stationed in Germany...any help would be appreciated.

or should I kepe tires the same all around for rotation purposes...purpose of car is daily driver and if I get to it some weekend fun here and there.

Hi Bignate2586 - Welcome to NICO Club!

This thread is dated (see the April 2012 dates in the upper left corner of each post?) so it's not really "active" and you may not get any replies. You could start your own thread, but there's so many out there about wheel fitment. I think you should use the search feature and do some research. Then introduce yourself and or post a specific question in a new thread if you're still unsure about something.

BTW - here is a link to my favorite 'wheel fitment calculator':

great thread, I also have a 91TT and looking for rims/wheels. Thanks for the info! My Z is white so I was thinking along the lines of gun metal or bronze....like these maybe idk https://www.performanceplustire.com/buy ... ronze-rim/

[centralcoaster33]

Those are nice looking rims. I didn't check the calculator to see if they'd fit, but they sure are pretty and would look great on a Z!
